Former Harris County Commissioner Calls For Resignation of County Judge and 2 Harris Commissioners


Steve Radack, former constable and former commissioner who said Democrats on the commissioners court had “blood on their hands.” 

“I never dreamed that after serving 32 years on this court that there would be three members of this court — Hidalgo, Garcia, and Ellis — who would kiss the rears of hardened criminals, who victimize law-abiding citizens, including law enforcement officers,” said Radack. “I’m calling on you three to resign from office so the healing can begin.”

On this episode, we talk immigration, deportations and bail.  Our Guest is Randy Adler.  Randy is a very good friend and we have known each other for many years.  Randy has been practicing bail law in the state of Texas for over 40 years.  On this episode we discuss what bondsmen can do when they post a bail bond for a defendant and then learn that there is a ICE hold.  This is an issue that has grown in importance with the changes made by the Trump administration regarding the border, illegal immigration and deportations.  How do these changes impact ongoing criminal cases?  Find out on this episode of The Bail Post.  Also, on this episode we discuss the "Ex Parte Clear" case and an article written by the Municipal Association entitled "Clear as Mud."  We discuss these cases from the perspective of the bail industry regarding seeking a warrant pursuant to article 17.19 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

The Bail Post Episode No. 68- Handling Mental Health Issues in the Criminal Justice System With Guest Ramey Heddins

Image
The Texas Legislature is in full swing.  A few weeks ago, the House Criminal Jurisprudence committee was conducting a hearing on multiple bail bills.  The ACLU of Texas gave testimony highlighting a story alleging that a defendant was lost in the Harris County jail for 18 years without  a conviction before his case was dismissed.  Of course, the headline was not correct.  A defendant had been arrested for capital murder and found incompetent to stand trial.  What followed was a cycle of the defendant being sent for treatment for several years, then moved back to the county jail to be re-evaluated to determine whether he was now competent to stand trial.  The cycle was repeated multiple times.  On this episode of The Bail Post we talk about mental health issues in the Criminal Justice System.  Contrary to what was reported to the House committee, the problem was a mental health issue not a bail issue.  Our guest is Ramey Heddins from MHMR...

But in real life, the business of tracking down fugitives is no laughing matter. Wayne Lozier, a licensed recovery agent — colloquially referred to as a "bounty hunter" — from Louisiana, found himself facing federal kidnapping charges after apprehending a defendant who had skipped court. Despite working under a lawful contract with a bail bondsman and with a valid warrant, Lozier's actions led to a 10-year prison sentence, until a December decision in U.S. v. Lozier in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed the ruling and ordered a new trial. This case raises pressing questions for attorneys giving advice about the risks surrounding fugitive recovery and the balance betwee...
